On this date in WWF history: The Radicalz debut on Monday Night RAW

In a lot of ways, it was more than just a major defection. It was the straw the broke the camel's back.
On January 31, 2000, World Wrestling Championship (WCW) superstars Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero would appear on Monday Night RAW as ringside guests of World Wrestling Federation's (WWF) Mick Foley (operating as Cactus Jack).
Road Dogg ended up going over the rail during his tag team match (with Billy Gunn) against Al Snow and Steve Blackman and when he stood up, took a swing at Benoit to prompt their unveiling and subsequent smackdown on the New Age Outlaws.
In reality, the quartet had seen enough of the sinking ship that was WCW and Benoit even left behind a world title to make the change. They asked for their release and got it, but of the four, Benoit and Guerrero would find the most success prior to their deaths.
Saturn was paired off with a mop and Malenko became Double Ho Seven. Um, yeah. Anyway, the Radicalz debut on RAW, after the jump.
How shocked were you at the time this went down, Cagesiders? And were you satisfied with the way it was booked?

Awesome
This was way before the net for me, and it was awesome!
Their match in Dallas on the Raw the Radicalz turned on Cactus Jack was the best match
in terms of heat ever. The crowd was off the charts for the 10 man tag match. It was the Radicalz with DX vs Mick, The Rock, Rikishi and Too Cool. So awesome a match in terms of excitement and crowd involvement. It was just wow.
I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
I'm still waiting for my CM Punk WWE Ice Cream Bar.
Go Chargers (oh yeah I said that)

It would lead me to believe that @bisping must have pissed off @danawhite something fierce. RT @drjamezkelske: @danhendo just out of curiosity, if the #ufc comes to you and asks you to fight Bisping again how do you respond?" -Dan Henderson
You're an idiot.

Malenko was...
double ho seven, but he did get a heck of a match out of Scotty 2 Hotty. That’s what i remember most from his WWF run.
How is Malenko doing?
Guerrero and Benoit died prematurely. Saturn went missing for like ten years and all kind of messed up stuff happened. That’s a cursed group.

If I recall correctly
Isn’t Malenko a road agent with the WWE?

Apparently
the desire to get away from the Booking decisions of Kevin Nash and Kevin Sullivan is more powerful than a world title. Nash’s “vanilla migdgets” quip will live in infamy forever…
Who wants to save the world? That's what misers do...
